Go onto "preferences" on fm09 -> "display & sound" settings -> where is says "display mode" change it from "windowed" to "default"....although my match engine doesnt work unless I have my display mode in windowed mode.
Put players in there best position so it is bright green the thing next t the player and go with a formation 442 but push all midfielders up and pull one striker one and the other the other one.(with the right click) it works for with Aldershot and I won the league in my first season with only 20k to spend
Standard formation ,, min 5 players on normal , 3 def 4 support 3 attack . passing pattern mixed ,tempo norm ,width norm ,tackling norm , time wasting low or norm , focus passing mixed ,marking tight man , creative freedom norm , free role 1 player , counter attack yes , offside yes . good luck , dan
Attack 5 players min attack , 3 def , 2 support , 5 attack . closing down oft , passing pattern direct ,tempo fast , width wide ,time wasting low , tackle hard , focus passing flanks ,marking loose zonal ,creative freedom high , attack same as creativity high , counter attack no , offside yes . good luck dan
First of all get your assistant to asses your team...he will tell you what he thinks is the strongest side. I would pick that team for a while it will usually do well. If playing a big four side always play 4-1-4-1.
4 defs centre backs run back fullbacks foward 1 centre mid 1 right mid 1left mid both wingers going forward then att mid centre with free role and set as play maker 2 up top one to hold up the other to get in behind defence make sure you set player tactics this is vital alo use a direct passing with quick tempo trust me this is akiller att formation.
Most Successfull tactics i've found was 4-3-3 attacking. However you do need 3 really good midfielders and at least 1 awesome striker for this to work , Henry, Aguero, Ibrahimovich, Teves, Rooney to name a few.
Tactics take a bit of tinkering depending on your personnel. usually employ Attacking mentality, a lot of closing down, Normal creativity , deep defensive line. again these need to be adjusted for instance if chasing a game, or against far superior opposition. good Luck
For my elite man city team I play 4-1-2-1-4, so basically diamond formation. but honestly any formation can work providing you have the players doing the right things to make it work. its good to have a very strong Defensive midielder I personally use miguel veloso or nigel de jong. this is my strongest 11. GK Given
RB Rafinha
CB Jagielka
CB Micah Richards
LB Filipe ( from Porto)
DM Veloso
RM Wright Phillips/ Zabaleta
LM Srna ( from shahktar- fantastic buy)
AM Vukcevic (from sporting lisbon)
FC Robinho
FC Carew/ Milevskyi
I play 2cb 2wb 1cm but not making any foward runs so the arrow points to dm 3attm and 2st. also for tactics my mentality is all out attack closing down as whole pitch and tick these boxes: tight marking, play offside andcounter attack. I did it with liverpool and I just beat chelsea 4-1 at stamford bridge )
You need to go into the folders, there is a file somewhere in there called "Falseplayers" or "Fakeplayers" etc . . . you just need to delete that and then the German national team will be able to select any player they want again. . . . If you have a look on google that should give you a bigger insight.
Im having the same problem, I tried increasing the strength and physical side of training to increase natural fitness, this seems 2 b minimising the injuries a bit
Yes!
I started at Wacker Innsbruck, (not the best team in the world)
after my first 2 games 7 of my players were out with broken legs, dislocated arms, sprains, bruises and all that.
I then joined Sheff Utd and the exact same thing happened all my key first team players out injured.
Can anyone help?
or is that how your supposed to play the game?
It's not a bug don't worry.... at the end of the day football manager is a simulation of real life football.and injuries are common in games, just do what the first guy said and increase physical aspect of training sounds good to me and im gonna try it now.
You should rest players and sub them off squad rotation some players get injured more than others they have the injury code on 20 but you can't see that only on edit mode that pops up like consistancy good luck!
I always find a lot of injuries is usually connected with too much training. Make sure pre season training is intense and then drop training gradually throughout the season! hope this helps
To prevent injuries buy a new/better physio for your team.you can do this by the same way you buy players.simple.however you can not prevent all injuries but you can reduce them.also rotate your players or buy strong athletic ones to improve your rotation system.
Use your assistants feedback, eg - if the assistant says "we are misplacing too many short passes" go onto team instructions and set passes to long. It works for me.
If I was you I would set my team to max on closing down,usually bad teams cant pass that well and closing down all the time will make them lose the ball.also play with a high tempo if you have good midfilders they should out pass the oppisition.and anther tip give your wingers creative freedon they will destroy lower league oppisition -Answer by:shaneod
Best formation is 4-4-2. with a holding mid. and dont let your centre backs make runs. I have played with like 15 teams (good and some crap ones). I have tried loads of cray stuff but it all comes back too 4-4-2.
4-4-2 is the best. You also need to make sure that all the players circles are the lightest green...also have a striker to hold up the ball when you have counter attack and have a midfielder that's defensive and have a midfielder that attacks mentally.
Check how much memory you have by going to 'my computer'. if its low, you need to get rid of as much as you can off your computer. if you still have loads, then start task manager and have a look at CPU usage, then start the game. if its up near 90% then you need to stop applications and programs running in the background.
Hey, it is not talking about memory space, it's talking about RAM. I have the same problem, but I have 1.5gb of RAM so it should be fine. When the message comes up, just ignore it (don't press ok) and continue playing your game...hope that helps
Yeah the other gys right it is on about RAM (random access memory) if you have a pc rather than laptop then go to CEX they sell pc stuff lyk that I had the same problem but I must warn you it is only temporary giv it a few months n it will be back so your betta gettin a new comp if moneys a prob then defo use the first 1 mate
When starting a new game you have a choice of which database to use. For example if you have all the patches downloaded you will have 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 to choose from plus any new databases you have created.
So when you hit the new game button a box pops up and you can choose from the dropdown menu alongside the database option.
Good luck!

Why cheat its a good game and better without cheating cmon dude use your head and play it normal its better
The only real way to do this is to either wait till your offered a job at somewhere like that or in the last half of the season click on jobs scroll down to which ever team and declare intrest in job...with a bit of luck you might just get it with a good rep.
Go to where it says manager on the top bar of the screen and then click on options which will be in a scroll down menu and then click on resign. After that you will need to look for a new job. If you're manager has a good reputation there is more chance of a big team coming in with an offer. Hope that helps
Well you said you downloaded the game right? well your problem is the game downloaded pieces of the data but not all of it if thats not the case it means that som1 is trying to download your info of your computer to theres
Go onto the tactics screen, Then onto the other teams tactics from your own team tactics. I think it's called Opposition tactics(?), Then select one of there playes with the little arrow/dot to the left of their names, A screen will then appear on the right. A few options down is 'Show player onto weaker foot'.
DO the same as the last answer, however, I sometimes find that it is more successful when you specify which foot is their weaker foot. e.g. if hte are right footed tell them to show onto their left foot. -Answer by:02jamesh
When you begin game click a link to the microsoft internet or run the update through steam and this will enable you to play a 2d match without interferances and it works very well!
I done a career as hartlepool and bought these players on my 1st season: Freddie Ljunberg, scores goals and delivers crosses(30k), Robbie Fowler, again scores goals and 15 at free-kicks(free), Paul Henderson, brilliant keeper for leicster(85k) and Mark Fotheringham, brilliant at passing(free).
I bought chopra for notts forrest and is doing good for me.
also I got a striker called abreu he is in the uraguy squad and has lots of caps for them and he is on a free
Ferran alfaro!i got him on a free from spain.he has got my huddersfield team into the champions league!hes very young and very good.highly recommended!
I have all the ansas. I was qpr I raided brazil players like. marquinhos (45 goals in prem later) 3-9ml. nilmar 3-6ml. sandro 2 mil. duglas costa (min rel 23m). leo (by 20 he will be one o the best defs in the game). walter (top buy will give you 25 goals a seson) 2-4m. check out peru team for cheap good players. you can even get david beckham for like 6 m. josh lambo cheap gk 250k. john fleck. plus der r loads of yung swedes 4 free n dutch n belgium, try gefrey snieder. trust its worth investing in them brazilian players but each one will get offers of 15ml+ after dey spend one season with you and your chairman will accept.
Because on handheld they don't have reserve squads, well there are fake players in teams reserves.

They do appear if when you start a new game, just put all divisions for england and then disable the other divisions so you've only got english divisions. Then pick your team and start your game, when it is finished finilasing details and whatever, check arsenal and vela and the other youngsters should be there
Vagner Love,Youry Zhirkov,Darijo Srna,cesar azpilicueta and Igor akinfeev amazing all of them for a top team or mid placed premiership team -Answer by:Parky
Filter player age between 16-20 any player worth 10(for DF,MF)-15(ST WF) million above worth signing , in 3 years most of them will be a star but you need to let them play in first team if you cant consider loaning them)
I played this game with man u, qpr, fulham. 10 season each (new game). some players r good in some game (new start from scrach), but av in the next, but some stand out. THEY ARE CHEAP AND WILL SIGN FOR ANY TOP DIV TEAM. simon vukevich = is like cheaper gerrard n will cost like 10m buy him quick. MARQUINHOS 45 goals a season 5-10m. vargas cheap, VELOSO cheap in first season n will join most teams as he plays for sporting cp. Leo buy him 2nd season for like 10ml goog younge brazil def. rodney sneider 200k. curtis davies, srna, walter, aguero for like 25ml in first season, sakho, jhon fleck,
I Was stoke and I signed Rob Jones from Hibs for £650,000 he's heading is 20 tackling 17 and strength 17 which I think is all you need for a CB he's also very good from corners he scored 8 goals for me in my first season!
Well... I really dont know if these players would come.. but they are massively underated for how good they actually are!
Ishmael Miller- He is Young, great pace,doesnt cost alot... and also he plays for west brom.plenty of goals.
Also Caicedo- very young for how good he actually is. They both get goals for how bad their attributes are. problem is he plays for Man city and quite alot of money. hope ive helped. Navek
Michael Coulson - Barnsley, not good to stats, but is useful when I bring him on has scored 10 goals from the bench for me so far, but do not start him!
Tom soares from stoke 150k mlrc top player in my team (we are in 19th in the prem)
munua free transfer
van anolhot chelsea loan
james beatie shef united scores loads 500k
I'm in the same position and have just spent £130,000,000 on Ronaldo! After 12 games he has 7 goals 9 assists and an average rating of 8.40! Also no backlash from the fans or board for signing a Red!
Nigel de jong, pazzini, leo from gremio brazil, messi, miguel veloso, micheal johnson is very good after a few season if you still have him. igor akinfeev become the best goalkeeper on the game after bout 3 seasons, he kept 24 league clean sheets for me great at saving penalties and close range efforts
Raul`s good but doesn`t come to ya and look for ronaldo ,henry,boofon and vukcevic has really high stats and has scored 20 goals in 13 matches thanks and call 07955525152 for more info
The best way is to choose the go on holiday option, you can then select the option to come back to the game when you are offered a job, it may take a while but it is the quickest option and you will get a job offer
W0W... dude.. im surprised peeps havent helped already about this. well here is the BEST way to get it. when you have loaded your game up. it says create a manager or used a past one or summit. close the wizard and on your manager information click on past experience.
once this has been done click from default (or whatever it is already set to) and set it to international footballer. yes... sounds complicated but trust me its actually very simple! thanks. Navek
At the start when adding a new manager, don't use the wizard, just select from a list at the top about your experience - world class. should get you a job in no time!
Have you opened up blue square north and south from playable leagues? I started unemployed no experience and got a job with braintree town third placed and won the play offs and just won the clc in my first season in the league above
Just buy player from the nation of your league. If you play EPL, buy England player.

It means like say you were manging chelsea it would go up if you played loads of engalish or brought loads
asne wengers is probly masive as hes french arsenal have loads of french

Go on data editor
load up default database
when loaded click edit and create ne person
when finished save database under different name
and when you start a new game choose the database you saved
If you can't find it manually then just do a file search for data editor.
My editor was here:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\football manager 2009\tools\data editor
You put the disc to other comp....
then copy the file on disc
to portable drive like xternal disc o pendrive...
then install to your laptop.

Pick your team and then add new user. pick team with a massive transfer budget ie man city and with that rich team pay the whole of their transfer budget on one player thats not very good on your team when he signs retire from the rich club and you will have lots of money. do this with as many teams as needed
I agree get many city, then change the expectations to 'winner' then u'll get £80m, then go to change budgets, & go to wage budget & get money out of there then put it to your transwer budget & you should then get about £120m at the most.:)
c.ronaldo- bloody amazin Rm (10 goals & 7 assists in 8 games)
nasri- amazin free kicks - 4 scored! (Lm)
essien- strong tackler, gets goals & assists.
kuzmanovic- one of the best Cm in the Premiership atm.
torres - first season(26 goals in the prem, 12 in the champions league)
tevez - 23 goals all together, but got 21 assists aswell. (FIRST SEASON)

Can't help with the scoring bit but you concede late goals as the other team pushes forward more towards the end of the game,especially if they are losing, try changing to a defensive tactic using counter attacking and set the time wasting option to often.

Buy arjen robben, lassana diarra and train henry to be AML
use 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 formation
GK : valdes
DR : alves
DL : abidal
DC (left) : milito or marquez (good header & can score from CK)
DC (right) : puyol/pique
MC (left) : yaya toure/iniesta/lassana diarra (good long shot)
MC (right) : xavi/pique
AML : robben/henry
AMC : iniesta/helb/gudjhonsen (messi also good at this position)
AMR : messi/helb
ST : eto'o/bojan/henry/gudjhonsen
its works for me, in my 1st season only conceded 6 goals overall.. :)
For Becks you need to pay around £5,000,000 transfer fee and he'll accept around 60k wages a week contract in the first season-i've now had him for Fulham and Newcastle-doesn't preform that well though i've found
The obvious and THE only answer to this.. is to be a better team or use the data editor to get your reputation up. once you get your rep up you put it e.g: to 9999 then you will be better than man utd and other teams.
however I do not know how to do this way.
be a better team to buy players such as man utd. real madrid. and so on.
I do recommend you be chelsea manager, as they have great money for transfers, good team and great wage budget! btw im not being harsh to other clubs by saying chelsea are better because I support aston villa. thanks navek.
To save alot of hassle and time with contract negotions,when bidding for a player also get a scout report.the scout report should be back before the bids accepted or rejected and on it it will tell you if the player has any interest in joining u. i.e will say would be extremely interested or would have some interest joining u,if it said player has no desire to join you then no matter how much wages you offer the player will never join.therefore you no you dont need to waste your time trying to get a bid accepted or offering the player contract after contract
Keirrison, Henri Saivet, Davide Santon, Federico Fazio, Kacar, Toni Kross, Fraizer Campbell, Sergio Asenjo (gk), Zoran Tosic....
How I find this player is easy...
